UV imaging

I have a Baader U Venus filter which covers 320nm to 380nm and did 12h of UV channel in 10min subs on eta Saturday and Sunday night. Same framing as my IR channel so I could do a bicolor with UV mapped to blue and IR mapped to red. UV imaging is hard yakka so I'll never complain about Sii anymore. The moon was up and the contrast was a little better when it went lower but it still doesn't seem to be affected by skyglow too much, same as IR which is great for me in my "Las Vegas" backyard.

Here's the blend result UV UVIR (50%) UV and the separate channels IR, UV, then blend. There's a bit of info about the filter and UV imaging here.

Got some highres version too:

IR 121 [3336x2496 - 4.2MB]
IR HD [1920x1437 - 1.9MB]

UV 121 [3336x2496 - 4.2MB]
UV HD [1920x1437 - 1.9MB]

UV IR 121 [3219x2334 - 7.2MB]
UV IR HD [1920x1392 - 3.5MB]

Enjoy the views.
